"Good Hair"

In his film, "Good Hair," Chris Rock points out that African American women spend over $9 billion annually on their hair. That's a lot of money. How much do they spend on their health care issues by comparison? Experts agree that over 50% of all African American women can be considered obese, that's up considerably since 2001. African American women are more likely to die from heart disease, twice as likely to have diabetes and are more likely to die from breast cancer. "With any luck, "Good Hair" will no only keep the dialogue going but also cause a cultural paradigm shift to healthy hair, healthy hearts, healthy attitudes and a healthy life."
